easy favorite of the gba barbie games so far. visuals were nice sometimes and i loved the music. almost beat it but got softlocked near the end. i’m 23 and everything in my life is going how i want it to be.

there’s a lot i love and respect about this game but i just can’t connect with it. i adore what it does with making things intentionally a bit confusing to preserve some magic and i think it does it well. really i can’t figure out why i don’t want to keep playing it, but i don’t. i believe i got about halfway? i do highly recommend it, i’m just not in a place right now where i’m interested in finishing it.

not horrible but the presentation is very unappealing to me. ugly and annoying music but a functional beat em up.

i gotta start keeping track of games with a chinatown location

worse than sin tzu and begins. these games are almost exactly the same experience though.

i only played like 30 minutes because i didn’t care and i hated it, but it might be the only game i know where the music changes to a completely random song every time you enter a new room. only one of them is good, too!

cool idea but i don’t really love how it controls

i love 3D platforming on the GBA

i liked this a lot! its the most one note shit ever but its like, a good note. the music is sick most of the time and does a lot of aesthetic heavy lifting.
generally just made me wish i grew up into bionicles.

one of the songs is cool

i can easily picture a version of this game i am in love with. i really enjoy toybox games and the general thesis of nour is really nice. but man it just is not executed well at all. there are probably a hundred cool ideas in this that i really like and they go absolutely nowhere. in between every moment where i collapse time because of my big burger or where i get a combo for tapping a jersey kick pattern there is so much flailing around in a way that is not fun or whimsical :(
